BlackBerry® UEM holds ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, and 27018 certifications. For government and critical infrastructure buyers, these independent audits validate its security management, cloud controls, and personal data protections.

Certification turns vendor claims into auditable evidence. That matters when one platform manages devices, users, applications, access policies, and sensitive operational data.

Endpoint management is a high-trust function. Beyond enrolling devices, the platform enforces policy, controls access, protects data, and supports distributed operations. In government, emergency response, defense-adjacent work, and critical infrastructure, buyers need proof that these practices are governed, tested, and maintained.

ISO/IEC certification provides that proof in a form procurement, legal, privacy, and security teams can use. It creates a common benchmark for evaluating risk, comparing vendors, and documenting a decision.

What Is ISO/IEC Certification?

The International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission develop ISO/IEC standards. The 27000 series addresses information security, privacy, cloud services, and operational risk.

Certification is not self-declared. Independent auditors review evidence, test controls, and verify that the organization meets the standard.

That rigor separates certified practices from broad claims of being secure, compliant, or enterprise-ready. Buyers get a defined scope, documented controls, audit findings, and ongoing accountability.

What BlackBerry UEM Certification Means for Customers

Together, the certifications answer three buyer questions: Is security managed and audited? Are cloud controls defined? Is personal data protected?

They can also reduce the work required for compliance and vendor risk reviews. They do not replace due diligence, but they give teams stronger evidence for evaluating BlackBerry UEM.

Recurring audits extend that assurance beyond the initial purchase by testing whether security practices remain effective.

The result is a stronger procurement file and a sharper risk discussion. Buyers can focus on how the certified scope maps to their deployment, regulations, and internal controls.

Certification as a Starting Point, Not the Finish Line

ISO/IEC certification gives government and critical infrastructure buyers a documented basis for trust. Pair it with internal risk assessment, deployment planning, and compliance review to determine whether BlackBerry UEM fits.

For BlackBerry UEM customers, certification turns trust into evidence. When security, privacy, compliance, and resilience shape the buying decision, independent validation makes that decision easier to defend.

On-Demand Webinar: What CI Fortify Doesn't Say About Communications

In July, CISA and other agencies released joint guidance titled "CI Fortify – Advice for Isolating Vital Systems," directing critical infrastructure operators to proactively isolate vital OT systems from unreliable third-party networks and sustain essential operations independently. Join us for an informative session about what CI Fortify asks operators to do, what it costs, and what it leaves unaddressed.
